Woo let’s go some Pennsylvania recognition!🎉

[@rorymaccrea1647]

I like your flintlock videos the best

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@bradleyslusser2279]

Finally, some new deer hunting content. I'm looking forward to following along again this year

[@joshmiller8663]

love the flint lock hunts. another great video John.

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@steveclark8883]

You guys always have a good time. Congratulations on some flintlock harvest.

[@rikertvonfulton16]

My favorite hunting channel!!

[@paulherbst752]

Beautiful camp, men. Brian sure built a beautiful rifle. Thanks for sharing.

[@bkauffman0390]

Thank you

[@nesselrodtoutdoors8475]

Love watching all the hunting content!

[@mattfrye8453]

I’ve been wait for this or an archery video from y’all!

[@bobboyer9440]

Truly enjoyed this hunt. The good, and the not so good. The guns went boom, always good.

[@bobs8244]

Hi LWO hunters. I just found your vids and had to subscribe to your channel. Well done! I know the filming you do is very difficult esp while hunting with a flinchlock. I hunt in north western Pa. Erie co. and Warren co. (although the CWD in Warren is alarming) some great country for whitetail. Was glad to see your vid on ice fishing Eaton res with Fish USA. I didn't know they had a tournament. Just wanted to give you a shout-out and express my appreciation of your good work and efforts.

[@sethmartin9076]

We are ready we have waited since last year

[@jimdunn606]

Awesome video! I believe I know the young fellow that took the first one. He is a pretty dedicated hunter. I'll be heading over to his channel next, to see his perspective! Thanks for another great video!

[@bkauffman0390]

Thanks Jim!

[@cjr4286]

Beautiful rifle, beautiful deer 👍

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@easttexan2933]

John, good to see some action. That 10 was as good a buck as you will see this year. I hope you're the lucky one.

[@briankelly2886]

Enjoyed the video.

[@tylerhunter5047]

watching you flintlock hunt is what got me excited to try this was my first year with flintlock seen some doe miss fired twice and i didnt get anything but this was my favorite kind of hunting by far love these kind videos keep them coming

[@bkauffman0390]

You bet, flintlock hunting is about as cool as it gets!

[@outdoorgunz]

I say ya bring those boys back for another late season doe smackdown like we had a few years ago.

[@melvinwisor2324]

Love watching all the content lots of good topics and tips, as I’m also in Pennsylvania hunting Clearfield county

[@quintinkale1242]

Great video appreciate your videos and for sharing. I hunt 2d not far from the Eau claire and near Emleton pa.

[@AR15JULES]

Nice video as always Johnny

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@tegunn]

Are there antler restrictions in Pennsylvania? (I'm in Texas)

[@richdeerhunter]

Hey John......good to see you back at it this season. I was wondering if we'd see anything from you before Buck season. Is your cousin Andrew gonna make the trip up this year? I think another installment of the Shirttail Chronicles is in order. Take it easy, brother.......hope you and Danielle are doing good. Good luck this year.....looks like you have a few prospects roaming around.

[@bubbaperry9419]

Are y’all hunting in Timber Company Land , that have been clearcut

[@briankelly2886]

Where was the rifle when you were out looking for the deer that had been shot at❓❓❓❓🤔

[@jase4010]

I harvested a doe the 18th around 6:10 in the evening. She came out of the woods in a soy bean field with 4 other doe and a 6 point. She was the lead doe and she and thr doe with her could smell me they were both licking there nose and smelling the air and she was watching the edge of the woods . She walked out just enough to where I put the cross hairs right on her and slowly squeezed I almost rushed the shot but I regained composure and took my time bc I knew she would stay there judging the way she walked so far. An 80 yard shot and she went 70 yards. The buck was the only one left in the field he just stared looking at the other deer running he took off only when I came into the field. She dressed 115lbs

[@pamountains2]

Awesome hunt

[@colbycotton23]

Looks like you might have to get a few spikes 😂

[@staconcrete2140]

Great video

[@Robertrls01]

i'm impressed it wouldnt misfire, with all that moisture

[@cdfranklin1977]

Great video! Always like watching your hunting videos. Those are some beautiful flintlock rifles, do you build your own?

[@bkauffman0390]

Yes I built the .45, you can watch the build video on my channel. Joe had the .54 built for him 20 some odd years ago. Mike built his own .50. All were similar Lancaster rifles with swamped barrels, although each built in a different caliber.

[@cdfranklin1977]

@@bkauffman0390 Awesome, will watch it soon, just found out there is a guy in my town here in NC that builds barrels. Have you ever heard of Rice Barrels? Looking forward to more videos! Have a great hunting season.

[@Jameshunts]

What an amazing few days of hunting! What camera do you mainly use for filming?

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Thanks! This video was filmed with a sony ax-100 then post edit for color correction.

[@Makete100]

Love those full stocks. Where did the wood come from? Did they have to be ordered? What is a swamp barrel? Flint locks, gotta love them.

[@bkauffman0390]

As far as my rifle the woods was local, Central PA. Swamped barrel is wider at the breech, tapers down then flares back out near the muzzle eliminating excess weight and making the rifle handle better. In my opinion (1700 gun builders) they knew how to make a gun so it held better back then than they can today. I can hold my flintlock steadier than my model rifles.

[@brandonamigh6378]

Our farm was cut out a few years ago and it looks just like that, if not more thick...what are your tips/tricks for hunting around that? I found to post up near the transition lines because the deer just like us don't always wanna walk through all that thick stuff 🤷‍♂️ it's definitely been a challenge to switch up how I hunt the land now

[@bkauffman0390]

Make narrow paths, they'll use it

[@theginganinja-_-7695]

Looking good for buck season. Should be out there with a bow.

[@neilharp5496]

Wait...is that Brian Kauffman?

[@bkauffman0390]

That is I

[@outdoor_tommy07]

Why no bucks?

[@burnsboysaresoldiers]

How much did it cost for that long rifle?

[@bkauffman0390]

Just the parts were $900. Then your time and dedication, I guess whatever you think that is worth ontop of it..I figure that gun I built I wouldn't sell for less than $2500. Heck the good ol Lyman great plains production rifles run $800 anymore!

[@burnsboysaresoldiers]

@@bkauffman0390 a good Pennsylvania man should never carry a plains rifle into the woods if he can get a true blue long rifle! I’ve been saving for a early Lancaster style smooth rifle in .58cal/24ga but now I have a ring 💍 to buy instead haha

[@glencaple3888]

👍

[@johnwayne4689]

John, a good video that would benefit your viewers would be the proper way to use a new tag. Not many people realize notching them is now required.

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

will keep that in mind! glad you enjoyed the video!

[@bobmcranor1049]

Tell the game commission that. They say the woods are open because the deer are eating all of it

[@kuferry]

I am from Meadville, big hunter and follower of LWO. Anyhow I have a skid steer with a brush cutter that will mow up to 5' trees. If you ever want trails cut through that stuff...... message me. I will do it reasonably

[@bodiepeterson1204]

And then you go up here to Maine and a big one is 200-215lbs

[@lukejones2755]

Why didn’t you shoot a big buck

[@yourbiologicalmother7569]

They aren’t in season

[@therealdude1]

Those does can hear you talking.

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

probably some of the time, youre correct

[@marksmith823]

They are not yearlings ! They are fawns ! They are not yearlings until they turn one year old !!

[@bkauffman0390]

That's just what we've always called them. It is what my family has called a deer born that year, for as long as I can remember. You call things as they are by what you hear growing up.

[@marksmith823]

@@bkauffman0390 a button head is a fawn buck not a yearling buck ! They are not yearlings until they reach one year old ! Call them what they are ! A fawn is a fawn !

[@conifergreen2]

You guys are too noisy. Deer have incredible hearing.

[@racerx199]

Yes! I was just rewatching some old videos early today getting excited for this seasons hunts!

[@lonewolf744]

Me too. Lol

[@adamtr1121]

Me as well! I love their deer hunting videos!

[@deerslayer30o63]

Same haha love these guys

[@sapphirefile]

Finally a new video! Been waiting for a 2021 video. I drew 2C and 4D again this year (nonresident). Plane ticket booked, time off. Family all got the time off. Your videos always get me in the spirit.

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Hope you have a great season!

[@brad8580]

Definitely my favorite week of hunting all year. We go to our camp in north central PA. We’ve been doing it every year for about the last 15 years

[@mohunter68]

From field to frying pan mmm...mmm....Good! Nothing ever tastes so yummy as fresh deer tenderloin for breakfast. You gotta appreciate these fellas getting it done with rifles from the 1800's the way the Pioneers did.

[@waterfindercollection9787]

Wish i had hunting buddies like yours... New subscriber here from nagaland india

[@Dave-hl7bv]

Great to see a new video. Who else saw the "Trump" sign on the cabin!

[@lonewolf744]

Man, that property is amazing. I'm hoping to be able to own some property like this at some point in the future.

[@omichaelnato5388]

Do you know the acreage on this property? Curious what is considered a good size for hunting, privacy, etc in PA ?

[@cannistershot2277]

Nice shot on that doe! Right in the nerve center. Just watched this other video on that very shot placement yesterday. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJDbaqmIlJV-g5o

Your not far from me when your hunting in Clarion county.

[@patkennedy7781]

Yes I agree with the other subscribers. Looking forward to your videos. I’m glad it’s hunting season. Have a great season.

[@justinratcliffe6063]

I’ve been waiting so long for your videos to come back out for real

[@JefF-rv7gp]

Yes Leatherwood is back !!! Thank you John and crew !!

[@AesculusPavia]

30:20-25 eerrr.....eerrr....HEEERRRRR...HEEERRRNT!!!...BOOM!

[@nathanhileman3848]

Love this video! I, too, love the early PA muzzleloader season, although I cheat and use an inline. Flintlock after Christmas though. What does "swamp barrel" mean, please?

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

Swamped means the barrel is thicker towards the rear of the rifle. sometimes helps with stability when holding the gun.

[@robertheinemann3251]

Made a connection. I commented on your fb post about my first deer and it was misty raining and I shot her before 8 o'clock on the specialized rifle season for seniors or youth in pa first day. Mine also dropped without running. My aunt and uncle have a place right by clarion. We go up there every summer

[@davidquillen5025]

I always enjoy your videos, thank you! I live in Oregon and killed 4 Columbia blacktail deer with muzzleloaders. 3 with .50 hawken no. 11 and got my first flintlock kill last year. I drew my muzzleloader tag again this year and leaving in a few days for another shot at meat in the freezer! So excited!

[@earlshaner4441]

Hi from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures

[@goldenapples13]

It's nice to see someone semi local to the Lancaster area speaking about deer hunting. There's not enough of this!

[@joeinterrante7873]

Well if Reamstown is not Lancaster i dont know what is. 😊

[@Rdixon921]

Yes missed u guys! I'm working on moving down that way from western NY

[@petermorgan3744]

Been waiting for the new videos all summer! It's been a long hot muggy summer here in central Alabama!! Keep 'em coming!!!!👍🏻

[@tygrove2629]

Once my sister shot an 8 point and we didn’t find any blood for 100 yards and only 1 spot. We found him piled up by a tree about 400 yards from the shot. She shot him right through the shoulder.

[@anthonybanks4633]

Right on been waiting on your guys video

[@scootsmctoots8862]

Always my favorite hunting videos. Just got a 9 Point with my Hawkens this last weekend. Cant wait to see the long hunter videos come out.

[@justinratcliffe6063]

Bro those bucks was biggggggg, hope y’all get one

[@craigwagner7157]

yes finally.. so glad John is back behind the camera. I need all the info on what PA looks like this year for Deer. I get a short window to hunt after Christmas and your videos get me pumped to hunt the flintlock season. any news on the bees this year? mushroom hunting? What about grouse, I mean they follow the trucks down the road, has to be easy shooting! keep them coming !!

[@mattewsmith6747]

What part of PA you hunting?

[@Leatherwoodoutdoors]

well, since becoming a dad this year. I have hardly had time to get out. I havent had time to get more bees or to even do much mushroom hunting. I probably wont even get out in archery this year. Just what happens but hopefully get some rifle and hopefully late season footage up. just see how it goes. not only I but the other guys have been busy as well. might be a slow year of videos.

[@justpassinthrough7]

Very cool. One day I might get a flintlock

[@bobboyer9440]

I have 9 black powder guns (percussion and flintlocks). There is something special about hunting with a flintlock. Now the percussion guns don't get much of a chance to go out. I only take out the percussion guns in the rain, though the rain didn't seem to be a factor for you.

[@mikeybreakz6292]

i passed on 2 giant does this year during archery because 2 fawns were with them. and i was hoping a big buck was following them. 3 hours later when i was walking back to the truck the very same does were 5 and 10 yards away from me standing on the path staring at me. the 2 fawns were feeding in the weeds on the side. i yelled at em to take their kids and go and they just stood there until i got 3 feet away then ran off. my passes are good all day.
